Health Member Of The Month - PRCutie!

At just under 5 feet tall, this petite bombshell went from a mammoth (for her frame) 140 lbs to a tight and toned 90lbs. And if that's not impressive enough, she's always more than willing to drop a comment on someone else's page to motivate them.

Health Member Of The Month: PRCutie

When someone makes an immediate impact on a social network like Health then there's a good chance that the member is going to be featured. And that's clearly the case here with June's Health member of the month, PRCutie. This active Healthr hasn't been around long but she became popular extremely fast, and for good reason.

At just under 5 feet tall, this petite bombshell went from a mammoth (for her frame) 140 lbs to a tight and toned 90lbs. And if that's not impressive enough, she's always more than willing to drop a comment on someone else's page to motivate them or to acknowledge their accomplishments.

She also entered the Bodyspace Spokesmodel contest last year and came so very close to making the finals. Not giving up on making her mark on the fitness world, PRCutie marched on and stepped onstage to compete for the first time. She placed 2nd place in a bikini competition.

If you're not already friends with this fitness go-getter on Health, then here's your chance to see what all the fuss is about.

Q: What is your name, where are you from, and how old are you?

My name is Iris Wiseman, I live in Central Florida and I am 35 years old.

Q: I'm sure you get this a lot, but what does the 'pr' in prcutie stand for?

It's a kick-ass cardio workout! I will also be a facilitator for a program called Salsa, Sabor y Salud. It's a program to improve awareness of habits leading to better nutrition and increased physical activity for Latino families with children.

After tipping the scales at 140+ lbs I said "enough was enough". Being 4'11" it just did not look pretty. I looked like Violet Beauregarde from Willy Wonka (I was brown though instead of blue).

I began by eating healthier and then incorporated exercise. I started lifting in April 2010 after seeing an article on getting your bikini body on Jyoto.info. It emphasized weight training (something I wasn't used to).

Being a self proclaimed cardio queen I left cardio behind (at that time) and decided to start lifting heavy. No regrets!

Q: Do you compete or do you stay so dedicated for other reasons?

At first, when I was a big doughnut (you are what you eat), I stayed dedicated because I was tired of using rubber bands to hold together my jean buttons.

After losing 45+ lbs, I needed to elevate my game. So I joined Team BodySculpting headed by Mike Matassa (toobehuge) at the beginning of the year to prepare for a competition. I competed for the 1st time in April, and placed 2nd in both Bikini over 35 and Open Bikini.

I chose to compete in Bikini because that's the exact body type I want, sexy and lean…without losing my curves. For bikini competitions, the emphasis is on the butt and who doesn't want nice plump glutes! I do, I do!

Q: What is the most important thing you've learned since you started training?

Well…the 1st thing I learned about training is that there is a lot to learn! The most important thing is that you have to be consistent…change will not come if you sporadically diet and exercise.

You have to…absolutely have to do it day in and day out. It has to become a part of you. It's pointless if you do it for a wedding, class reunion or cruise if you are going to go back to a sedentary lifestyle afterwards.

Training goes further than the hour spent in the gym each day; you have to live the lifestyle outside of the gym as well.

Q: What is your favorite body part to train and why?

Ooooh…that is a hard one, but I'd have to say my answer would be my back. I naturally have a broad back and narrow waist. Everybody compliments me on it so of course I like the body part that is best on me, but I have grown to love leg day.

That's where I am the weakest. The last place that darn fat leaves is from my inner thighs and hamstring area…oh I hate it! Sprints, jump roping and plyometrics are what I do to lean out my legs.

Q: What is the best fitness advice you could give to someone who is just starting?

Make up your mind and stick with it! Your transformation may take months and in my case years! If you are dedicated and stay consistent, change will come! Some people can do a 180 degree change from their bad habits, but most people can't because it's too overwhelming.

With step-by-step progress you will eventually get where you want to go. Another thing…not one person has all the answers. Listen, read, and learn from multiple sources and ultimately do what is best for you!
